Hot tubs

[twing]

With the impending lack of holidays coming I’m thinking the unthinkable of buying a piss bubbler. So has anyone got any recommendations? Big enough for 4 adults(family so no pampas grass needed) and cat claw safe. Is it doable for £500 or am I better off with a paddling pool a a chicken naga?

Think you’re missing an additional zero TBH.

[twing]

I thought that too, just hoping someone would come up with a man-math solution that would make £1500 sound like a good idea

everyone seems to be getting these lay z spas. mate at work has one and said it's good

Sex pond!

There’s a really long running thread in the homes and garden section all about this

We have an Intex PureSpa 4 person and it gets used daily ... wouldn’t be without one now and when it dies will be sorting a more traditional full-sized sex pond.

Never seen the appeal of these. Cost a fortune to run and the novelty has got to rub off pretty quickly. A bit council too....

I thought the same as you tbh.

All I'd suggest if you have the right environment for it, is to try. Then you can make your opinion, based on experience.

Can we get this moved to the council thread please?

I thought the same till about 15 years ago when we got one. Novelty still hasn't worn off and £2/day isn't really that much for something that's working away 24/7. Other opinions are available.

Does the sex pond come with a free pampas grass?

Costco sell them at good prices. You will need to spend a few grand rather than a few hundred but they also deliver and install. I’d love one if I could spare the money. Sitting in one while drinking and talking st is great. You just have to make sure you have clean friends as I went on holiday once with a few others, we rented a villa that had a tub. One of my mates is a right dirty bd and goes for days without showering. After he’d used the tub for a couple of days there was a film of scum on the top and it was unusable for the rest of the holiday.

I know a few people who have them.

I can see the appeal after a day of skiing or hard outdoor activity, but after a tough day sitting down at a desk, why would you want to?

Ps. It is a cliché, but I'm always put in mind of a Louis Theroux Weird Weekends episode about Californian swingers.

We got an inflatable one (Lazyspa Miami) a few years ago on a whim because holidays were limited due to family circumstances. It's a hell of a lot better than it should be for £300 (iirc) and makes the "proper" ones look very expensive.

Whether you can get one now is a different question.

Our house has a pool and hot tub that were there when we moved in. The pool self doses and is great. It gets used several days a week.

The hot tub is a royal pain in the arse. Constantly needing stuff adding to it to stop it killing the countless people who never use it. When all's said and done I don't want to share a bath with the kids/their friends or any of my family and friends. Anyone who does is weird, frankly.

Horrible things, pain to keep the correct pH/chlorine/hardness/bks. I wouldn't have another, in fact I'm pushing to get rid of the one I have.

We've got an inflatable Laz-Z-Spa. We've had it 5 years and it's been fine, surprisingly good longevity. If you went out and wanted to spend £500 on one you'd be fine. Finding one at the moment might be tricky!

A luke warm, bubbling soup of dead skin, scabs, hair and bodily fluids that requires a degree in chemistry to prevent dead bodies being added to the list.

I've three chums that had / have them and each regret the decision.

Each to their own.

Thanks for the helpful (and some less) advice. Pretty much what I expected for those that mentioned pampas, I put it in the OP. I’ve found a couple of “Canadian Spa” efforts that fit the bill and will do the job as a water filled drinking hub

A Hot tub you say?
